Re: Lane Cedar Chest

You may contact them for a free http://www.lanefurniture.com/CustomerService/Lock-Replacement.aspx replacement lock, if yours is within the years of the recall. And, if yours is pre-40's it is more than the newer, which are usually only around $200.... http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4794032_determining-value-lane-cedar-chest....you can date it thru the company, too.

Re: Lane Cedar Chest

I have one similar to yours that I inherited from my great aunt when she passed away. The appraiser who went over her estates valued the one I have at ~$900. It has the same patent numbers as yours, but Has a different style/serial number.

I've never seen any Lane chest sell for over $350.00 in the last ten years, they routinely sell at auction for under $100.00 these days.
